COUNTY DIVISION.

Just as was predicted, efforts are
being made to effect segregation
of Alturas county. The Times states
that it has knowledge of two bills
being prepared, one to cut off the
eastern portion of the county lying
between the American Falls and
Lost River, the other to cut out
that portion traversed by the rail-
road and to include Rocky Bar
and Atlanta. There is but little
chance of either scheme succeed
ing. but the representatives of
Alturas county should be on the
alert to head off any attempt at
such legislation. 1t is their bound
en- duty to do so in conformity
with the pledges each and every
one of them, irrespective Of party,
made when accepting nomination
The promoters of county division
certainly do not represent the
wishes of the people at large in adj
vocating any such measure that
would prove disastrous to them.
1t may appear to some that unnec-
essary alarm is shown over the
matter, but it is far better to be
alarmed and precautionary steps
taken than to be caught mapping
and let the divisionis.s perfect their
plans to log-roll their bly, through
the legislature without resistance.

Delegate Toole of Montana, not
to be behind in the matter OF Sc

troduced a bill which provides;
That all of that portion Of Idaho

The attempt to pass law for the
formation of . board of railroad
commissioners for Idaho Territory
should meet not only with the
hearty cooperation of the mem
bers of the legislature, but of the
railroad companies themselves.
The prosperity of the people and
the railroad company is SO linked
that if the people suffer, soon will
the road. The railroad which re-
CARDS it's transportation opportuni-
ties as legitimate prey is digging
the grave of it's own prosperity and
prohibiting its own growth. 1t is
the modern policy of railroads to
give low rates and the consequent
growth more than makes up the
loss. In Georgia, where the charges
of the railroads were reduced by a
commission it is found by the state
report that all predictions that the
action of the commission would
paralyze the railroad interests OF
the country have failed. Three
years experience shows large in
crease of revenue to the stockhold-
ers, higher prices of shares, in
creased tendency to invest capital
in the state and the railroad au-
thorities and the people on better
terms than ever before. The feel
ing in favor of regulation of fares
and freights by law steadily in
creases, and if it appears that
through the efforts of its agents
that a railroad company seeks to
prevent the enactment of law es-
tablishing a railroad commission it
will, in the end, react to the detri-
ment of the company adopting such
means to defeat the will of the peo-
nile

Governor Pennoyer of Oregon
was inaugurated last week and pre-
sented to the legislature a message
which reads like an anti-bellum doc
ument in reference to its topics OF
state and general government. He
lays down the doctrine that the
courts of the state have no power to
pass upon the constitutionality of
any law which the legislature NAV
enact, and the fact of their so do
ing an usurpation of authority. lie
recommends the adjustment of the
board of immigration for fear new
corners will have to compete with
Chinese labor. During the anti
Chinese excitement in Portland
Governor Pennoyer aided and en-
cOqraged the vicious mob that
threatened to take possession of the
city, but which rapidly subsidized
when the better class of citizens
took matters in their hands, and
with the aid of the military restored
order. AS governor he takes occa-
sion in his message to denounce
such armed interference, and asks
the legislature to place in his hands
the means of enforcing the laws
through civil officers.
